Battery <strong>of</strong> a photoelectric generator.<br />

Figure 3.105 is<br />

a possible version <strong>of</strong> the design <strong>of</strong> such a<br />

battery. <strong>The</strong> photoelements 1 are placed in housing 2 <strong>of</strong> a lightweight<br />

alloy by insulating layers 3 <strong>and</strong> 4.<br />

corrugated foil provides the necessary panel stiffness.<br />

We know [41] the parameters <strong>of</strong> batteries being developed or<br />

being used on various earth satellites. <strong>The</strong> battery for a space<br />

vehicle has the following data:<br />

area 2.76 m 2 , power 150 W, mass<br />

34 kg. Other photobatteries have an area <strong>of</strong> 21 m2, electrical<br />

power up to 1 kW, <strong>and</strong> a mass <strong>of</strong> 130 kg.<br />

In conclusion we should mention that it is advisable to use<br />

photoelectric converters at comparatively low power (up to 1 kW)<br />

<strong>and</strong> an operating period up to 2 years.<br />
